Bug description
After assigning some experimenting, I have assigned "wine wineconsole" as the command to run EXEs. This has resulted in double clicks not doing anything. Open With -> wine works fine.
Steps to reproduce
Presumably assign "wine wineconsole" as default app for running EXEs, then try doubleclicking an EXE.
Expected behavior
The EXE should get executed in a wine terminal.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the EXE association in Nemo on Mint 22 Cinnamon, comparing a double click with Open With → wine, and trace the default-app launch entry point. Done means double-clicking an EXE assigned to “wine wineconsole” launches it in a Wine terminal.
